SKIRMISH breakdown:

RESOLVING A HIT

EXAMPLE OF PLAY mid-game between 2 players named Neo and Johnny

When a HIT is declared, an opponent can assign any ready team to Defend
it. The Defender always gets the rst action, then clockwise in the case of a
3 or more player battle) until all players decline to take any more actions.

If you beat the opponent team calculate:

Neos Turn

YourRemainingOffense=YourOffenseTotal OppDefenseTotal

// Draw: Neo draws 3 cards - any combination from either deck

// Straighten: Johnny straightens any used cards

Then the Skirmish resolves.

YourRemainingDefense=YourDefenseTotal OppOffenseTotal

// Straighten: Neo straightens any used cards

// Shopping Phase: Johnny pays EB and plays some cards to the table.

1) All players Calculate their Teams Offense and Defense totals.

TargetSecurityTotal=Msec + (current Esec x 2)

YourOffenseTotal=(sum of the SR for all your un-used Runners

+ their Cyber + Equipment involved in the battle) + total of all
purchased LR (on Runners, Cyber and Equipment).

TargetStashTotal=(Msec:5 x #stashcards)+(Esec:(5x#stashcards)x2)

// Shopping Phase: Neo pays the cost in EB to play the OP I Want That
Prototype and lays it down on the table.

//Legwork Phase: Johnny pays twice the cost in EB of Neos OP IWTP,

making it his target for the turn. In addition to now being able to RUN it,
Johnnys netrunners can now lower the e-SEC, and Neos cant. Johnny
assemble a team, uses some unused and unteamed runners to lower the
M-sec and E-sec of the OP

YourDefenseTotal=sum of all the Def on your unused Runners,

Cyber and Equipment in the battle.
2) If YourOffenseTotal>OpponentDefenseTotal
{trash all Opponent Runners with no Equipment}
{trash all Opponent RunnerEquipment;Runner+cyber=used}
{trash all Opponent TeamEquipment}
3) If YourDefenseTotal<OpponentOffenseTotal
{trash all YourRunners with no Equipment}
{trash all YourRunnerEquipment; YourRunner+cyber=used}
{trash all YourTeamEquipment}
It is possible for both teams to be trashed in a Skirmish.
If you did not beat your opponents defense, but your team was not
trashed either, this is considered a TIE. Your team returns used, and may
not attempt any other Runs or Hits this turn regardless of movement and
vehicle capabilities.

Neo buys some other stuff. Cards come into play unused, so if Neo buys a
runner, that runner can team, act, etc. this round.
CASE target=STASH
If YourRemainingOffense>TargetStashTotal
then {Trash cards_in_Stash;Ops Points=+(3 x #of_cards_in_stash)}
CASE ELSE
If YourRemainingOffense>TargetSecurityTotal
then {Trash Location_Operation;
Ops Points=+TargetOpsPoints}

// Legwork Phase: Neo uses Meat Grinders (Rocker, POW 5) rocker skill
to lower the OP M-sec by 5.
Johnny decides to use Jimmie Blitzs (Media, POW 5) media skill to raise
the OP M-sec by 5.
Cursing, Neo uses his Spider Murphys (POW9) netrunner skill to lower
the OP E-sec by 9.
Johnny has an unused Runner with netrunner skill, but he cannot use a netrunner to raise an Opponents OP, so the Netrunner just sits back and watches.

If your attacking team fails to beat the Security Total on a Hit or Op, then
the TargetSecurityTotal is used against YourRemainingDefense.

Now Neo states teams (no more than 4 runners per team unless one is a
Nomad). He teams 4 runners: 3 x Race Chapels (Solo, POW3) and 1 x
Y.T. (Solo, POW 8)

If TargetSecurityTotal >YourRemainingDefense: team suffers the same

effects as though they had lost a Skirmish.

(Note that although Neo has dedicated to his OP, there is nothing to say
that he is commited to RUNning the OP.

If TargetSecurityTotal<YourRemainingDefense: team suffers the same

effects as if they had tied a skirmish (return used regardless of movement
and vehicle capabilities and may not attempt any other Runs or Hits this
turn).

// ACTION Phase: Neo look across the table and see that Johnnys
runners cant stop him if he blows up Johnnys Location: Wallys World
O Weapons.
Neo decides to HITS Wallys. Assuming that Johnny does not have any
dirty tricks (mostly Events) Neo trashes Wallys, and gain its OP point (5)
and denies Johnny the location.
Neo has used all his resources so he cannot RUN IWTP. It stays on the
table.
// Damage Control: Neo discards down to 8 cards and checks to see if he
meets any of his victory conditions.

Johnnys Turn
// Draw: Johnny draws 3 cards - any combination from either deck

// ACTION Phase: Johnny declares a RUN on the OP and successfully

defeats its Total Sec (M-Sec+(E-Sec x 2). He now trashes the OP, scores its
Op Points (15), and executes any of the OPs card text abilities if desired.
if Johnny had any unused teams/runners left, he could perform a HIT on
other opponents or more RUNs on his own OPs in play...
// Damage Control: Johnny discards down to 8 cards and checks to see if
he meets any of his victory conditions.
